At this market, they offer a selection of fresh produce, such as fruits and vegetables, along with eggs. Their noodle section is imposing, and they offer housemade prepackaged items like summer rolls, spring rolls, and rice dishes that can be taken directly home for quick convenience.
This mid-sized market is hidden in a charming strip mall near PNC Pavillion. They carry an extensive selection of noodles, spices, sauces, snacks, and frozen foods from the Philippines; plus, they have catering services for authentic Filipino cuisine.
Triveni Indian Market
For Indian food enthusiasts, Triveni is the go-to store. Here you’ll find an impressive selection of dals, rice, flours, spices, sauces, pickles, and snacks to suit any need.
It also boasts a small section of fresh meat and an in-house bakery, plus it has an inviting hot food counter where you can sample delectable dishes like biryani or curry for yourself.

Charlotte is known as a hub of Asian culture, but plenty of other restaurants and shops are dedicated to different cuisines. South Riding Town Center will soon host Triveni, an Indian supermarket. This small brand has two locations in North Carolina, with more coming soon.
Dany’s Supermarket
One of Charlotte’s more unique stores is Dany’s Supermarket, a national grocery chain located in the Mallard Creek area of Charlotte. Although relatively new to the community, this store has impacted the local landscape with its friendly attitude and helpful staff. Dany’s may not be the biggest or flashiest store, but it offers the widest selection of items at unbeatably low prices – giving it a clear edge over its competition. Dany’s offers an impressive selection of branded and generic merchandise, but what truly sets this store apart is the upbeat, friendly atmosphere customers are treated to. Plus, as a family-run business, they take great pride in customer service and stock fresh and safe items for consumption.
